Coaches’ comments
Josep is a wide attacking player with a very good skill set in and out of possession which makes for a good overall package as a footballer. He has good technical ability and likes to take players on with his dribbling ability and flair. He is direct when taking on players and always looks to get crosses in to the box or get a shot away if he does choose to drive inside. He is a fierce competitor and leaves everything out on the pitch as he’s really hungry to improve and do well. His movement is good and doesn’t always look for the ball to feet, but stretches the game also and often makes good runs in behind to get through on goal. Josep is a player that will thrive in the college environment with full time training.
